Edwin Jackson continues to pay dividends.
And the Detroit Tigers offense — so spotty and powerless for much of the season — continues to hit.
Jackson won his second start in as many tries Wednesday night, beating the Seattle Mariners, 3-2, at Comerica Park.
Jackson allowed two runs on four hits in five innings. He walked one batter and struck out four.
He was backed first by outfielder Victor Reyes, who rescued the Tigers (36-81) from nearly squandering a prime scoring opportunity in the bottom of the second inning.
